Giants Trade Dexter Lawrence for Draft Picks

0:00On April 9, in the latest SB Nation Riders mock draft, the New York Giants just pulled off a big trade for star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, who's been pushing for a deal. They shipped him to the Chicago Bears in exchange for the Bears' 25th overall pick in Round 1 and a second round pick in 20. 27. Negotiations heated up with reps from the Ravens and Bears. The Ravens dangled their 14th pick, but held back on a day-to-selection, so that fell through. The Bears stepped up with their initial offer of 25 and a third, then sweetened it to include that future second-rounder, hitting the Giants. Asking price of a first and a second. Giants fans are split on this mock move, especially after seeing the Jets snag similar picks plus a player for Quinn and Williams. The real Giants brass isn't rushing, with Warren still under contract for two more years, but losing another homegrown star like this stings the fan base. My front office pushed hard for those premium picks to rebuild the line, eyeing targets like guards or corners in the first round.
